I squinted until my eyes adjusted to the surrounding
cover of night. Once they had adapted to the darkness, my eyes widened. I was
standing next to a tall cluster of trees in the forest not far from my house.

Confusion settled over me as I peered around for any sign as to why I was out
there. It was chilly and the wind was slicing right through me. I wished I had
a coat on.

Breaking through the haze of confusion, I suddenly shivered but not because of
the cold. The hairs on my arms and neck stood on end and my heart was pounding.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

The only sound was the rapid beating of my heart. I didn’t know why, but I felt
nervous and uneasy. Something bad was coming and I was blind to whatever it
was.

Panic firmly took hold in my stomach and the butterflies caged inside me were
let loose to flutter, fighting for freedom. My breathing had become harsh and
labored.

All kinds of wild thoughts were racing through my mind. The waiting was
excruciating and my unease increased with each passing second. That’s when I
heard it.

The crunch of branches and dead leaves in the distance filtered through the
silence. I tried to discern where it was coming from, but had no luck.

I strained to hear, but was too late. The sounds were coming in my direction. I
spun frantically for a place to hide. The trees were thick, but not thick
enough to cover me. I could only hide behind one and still myself.

My hand flew to my mouth to cover the gasp of surprise I was about to unleash.
The situation was bad, so much worse than I could have imagined.

There, in the inky darkness of the woods, I focused on two figures ahead of me.
It was a chase. The first figure ran with little care of their surroundings.
Twigs were snapping and branches were whipping. Leaves crunched loudly below
their feet.

The second figure was faster though. It caught up and yanked the first figure
to the ground with a loud ‘thud.’ A panicked scream pierced the air and I
realized it was a woman that was being chased.
